Nitarid 100mg/5ml Syrup is an antiprotozoal medicine used to treat diarrhoea in children. Loose, watery stools that happen more frequently than usual are called diarrhoea. A virus typically causes diarrhoea, though tainted food can also be the culprit. Less often, it may indicate the presence of another illness, like irritable bowel syndrome or inflammatory bowel disease.
